keep seeing things I don't want to see and read!

[Fingers crossed]

Hello Girls..

Well I will be 6 weeks on Wednesday and of course each day that passes the more attached and worried I become.

It seems that every book I pick up or thing I see on TV or person I have met in the last 2 weeks has told me about either a m/c or a blighted ovum..I hope that this is not an omen!

I am preparing myself for the worst for our scan as I do know that so many people have bad news at the 7 week scan..but of course I am also trying to keep as postive as possible.

Just wanted to get a idea of how you felt before the scan and what happened at the scan and the feelings that you felt.

I wil be 12 weeks on the 27th Dec and I am so fearful of something going wrong around the Christmas period at a time of fun and celebration (especially as we have chosen not to share our news).

Just by writing this has helped me a bit. I have had 2 weeks off work which has been lovely and really helped in keeping me calm ..but I have to go back on Thursday and I am really not looking forward to it...so much so that I am even considering leaving and studying full time instead so that if all continues I can rest and enjoy and do what I want when I want...or if not I can focus 100% on further treatment...would be interested in your ideas....as 9 months maternity leave is not really that important to me as I have no intention of returning to work after and I would rather have a healthy relaxed pregnancy.

Anyone else on here at the moment at the same sort of stage as me?

Take care

Hi Fingers Crossed,

I am just about 7 weeks and had my 2nd scan today and all I can tell you is that once you see that heartbeat you will feel so much better. I worry so much about everything that can go wrong just so I am prepared if it does. It is so normal to have these feelings and to worry especially since we have been through so much to get to this place. I just try to have faith that everything will be as it should.

I wish you the best and I will say a prayer that everything goes well for you.

Take care,
Nance

Fingers,
The wait until the scan is scarier compared to the original 2ww.
And then it kind of eases a little bit in between scans.
If all has been ok, then I think one can continue working-at least that would ease the stress- unless work is even more stressful.
I personally worried thru each day of my pregnancy, and wish I had learnt to enjoy it more- I was so scared to become attached to her as all i thought was "what if I lose the baby?'
I now realise that if I'd just let life take its course, I'd have had a more calm pregnancy.
I wish you all the the very best for you scan and am sure that all will be fine for you.
hugs,
smita

Hey fingers,

I have been worried every single day since I am pregnant...Before my first scan, I tried not to get emotionaly attach to my lil one, as I did not know if it was alive and doing well. I had my first scan at 7 1/2 week. I saw one baby with a good heartbeat. That was already a relief to see a heartbeat but the worries did not stop...
My 2nd scan is tomorrow, I cannot tell you how much I have bee waiting for that moment. After my first scan, I told myself that even after seeing a HB, miscarriage still happen... I set myself the 12 week scan as a goal and I took each day at a time, thanking whoever for letting me with my baby another day. SO I am not 12 weeks yet, but I have promise myself that If all is well tomorrow, I will stop being so stressed out (cannot be good for the baby) and will start enjoying my pregnancy.I will also join a thread on this forum, until now I have not have the courage to do it.. Until now I have not allowed myself to look at names, shops etc... But I will start gradually from tomorrow.
I think it is impossible not to worry a bit during a pregnancy, it was hard enough for us to get pregnant, and now that it has happen, the worse fear would be to have our babies taken from us...

I also think that if your work is not stressful or physical, that it would be good for you to continue (but if can not work after birth, that is just great). Because I do not think it is a good thing to obsess about something and if you are not working, that is all you will think about, and most probably think too much!

I am wishing you the best for your next scan.
